Chapter 88 He's going to propose?
The following evening, the Sheng family home was brightly lit.
Sheng Weiwei's birthday banquet was extremely grand, inviting more than 100 young talents from all walks of life.
As Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian walked hand in hand down the spiral staircase, the entire hall fell silent instantly.
Under the lights, the two of them shone like two dazzling pearls.
Everyone was then surprised to learn that the Sheng family had another eldest daughter, surnamed Gu, who was adopted by the Sheng family.
And she's so beautiful!
In the center of the crowd, Huo Shenyuan, dressed in a black suit, stood tall and straight. He raised his phone and pointed it towards the stairs.
In the scene, Gu Xingnian is wearing a light blue dress, with delicate features and a cool temperament, which complements Sheng Weiwei's enthusiasm and radiance.
He curled his lips into a smile and casually shared the video in that small group chat.
[Huo Shenyuan: Look at the princesses of the Sheng family.]
[Huo Shenyuan: Amazing, isn't it?]
The group chat exploded instantly, with everyone tagging Fu Beichen and Gu Shaoheng.
Neither the Fu family nor the Gu family were invited to this grand banquet, which fueled the heated discussion in the group chat.
Fu Beichen had just finished a multinational conference when he opened the group messages and immediately saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the video.
It was Gu Xingnian.
She looked beautiful today, so beautiful that it gave him a sudden jolt.
Today, he's determined to bring this little woman home!
Fu Beichen picked up his coat, his eyes deep, and drove directly to Xingyu Restaurant.
Inside the banquet hall.
Huo Shenyuan's gaze unconsciously followed the small figure lingering in the dessert area.
Li Qingning, like a little hamster, held a small piece of cake and ate it in small bites, her eyebrows and eyes curving, looking completely satisfied.
Huo Shenyuan felt inexplicably better as he watched.
She's beautiful, with a radiant smile, but unfortunately... she can't speak.
At this moment, a slick-haired man suddenly stopped Li Qingning, pointed to a barely noticeable stain on his suit, and shouted loudly, as if the girl had accidentally dirtied his clothes, his attitude arrogant.
Li Qingning was a little flustered, her face turned slightly pale, and she could only wave her hands while making anxious "ah ah" sounds.
Huo Shenyuan frowned, took a long stride, and pulled Li Qingning behind him.
He glanced coldly at the man and gave a signal to the bodyguard beside him.
"Throw it out."
The man tried to shout, but he was already dragged away by two bodyguards.
Li Qingning tugged at Huo Shenyuan's sleeve, pointed to the door, then pointed at him, clasped her hands together in a gesture of thanks, and continued to make "ah ah" sounds.
Huo Shenyuan chuckled softly as he watched her eagerly gesturing.
He was about to speak when Li Qingning turned around, picked up a pink macaron from the dessert table, and handed it to him, gesturing for him to eat it.
Huo Shenyuan raised an eyebrow: "I don't eat sweets."
Li Qingning refused, stood on tiptoe, and without saying a word, stuffed the small, delicate macaron into his mouth.
The sweet taste melts in your mouth.
Huo Shenyuan was slightly taken aback, looking at her bright eyes after her success, and began to chew helplessly.
On the other side,
The opening of Xingyu Restaurant today has already made headlines in Haicheng.
It sits in a prime location in the city center where land is incredibly expensive; it's simply outrageously luxurious.
The three-story circular building, covering an area of 5,000 square meters, has an ivory-white exterior that gleams warmly under the lights, with smooth and grand lines.
Even before you get close, you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers wafting in the air.
This isn't a restaurant; it's clearly an elaborately crafted garden palace, with uniquely designed swing chairs, moon-shaped fountains, and heart-shaped crystal chandeliers everywhere...
The real highlight was on the third floor; everyone who went in instinctively held their breath.
That's absolutely amazing.
Looking up, the entire ceiling has been transformed into a deep and realistic starry sky.
It's not the cheap kind of lighting effect; it's a dynamic scene where you can see nebulae moving and constellations changing.
Profound, vast, and so beautiful that words fail to describe it.
In the center, a small and exquisite circular stage was specially designed. It wasn't large, but it was enough to draw everyone's attention.
The stage was surrounded by clusters of fresh bouquets, white, pink, and champagne-colored roses and lisianthus, layer upon layer, filling the air with a rich, sweet fragrance.
The only entrance to the stage is a huge moon-shaped archway.
The archway gleams with a soft, pearly luster, its edges inlaid with tiny crystals that sparkle brilliantly against the backdrop of the starry sky ceiling.
The design is beautiful and romantic.
It's clearly something carefully prepared for an important occasion.
Proposal?
Absolutely.
The feeling, the scale, the aesthetics, the sheer amount of money spent…
The ultimate romance built with money can be so direct and so breathtaking.
Most of the diners were drawn to the third floor.
"Tsk tsk, this setup, is it a marriage proposal?"
"That's too elaborate! How much thought and effort must have gone into this?"
"I heard that Xingyu Restaurant was invested in by President Fu. Anyone who can hold their first marriage proposal here must be either rich or noble."
A crowd gathered outside the police cordon, buzzing with discussion and overflowing with curiosity.
Suddenly, the starry sky zenith, like a giant ship from Star Wars, was cut into a hexagonal rhombus, then slowly opened to reveal the real sky. The night wind blew in, and a drone formation flew down above, beginning a high-tech light show.
Everyone was stunned!
Before long, a waiter respectfully led a woman onto the small stage.
She came up through the VIP entrance on the other side, wearing a pinkish-purple strapless dress that accentuated her slender figure.
With her back to the crowd, she looked up at the drone performance in the sky ahead.
Just then, Gu Xingnian also ran up, panting.
Squeezed through the crowd, she couldn't help but marvel at the meticulously arranged scene before her.
The venue was beautifully designed.
I believe no woman could resist such a romantic offensive.
Rewind half an hour to the Sheng family banquet hall.
Gu Xingnian and Sheng Weiwei were eating cake when Huo Shenyuan walked over and quietly handed her a folded note.
Gu Xingnian opened it with a puzzled look.
Above were Fu Beichen's familiar, sharp handwriting:
[9 PM, Xingyu Restaurant. If you want a divorce, come have this farewell dinner with me. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll never leave the Fu family for the rest of your life.]
"Bang"!
Gu Xingnian felt her blood pressure spike instantly!
Fu Beichen, that bastard!
She was so angry that her fingertips trembled. She made up an excuse, and without even changing her clothes, she ran out.
When I arrived at Xingyu Restaurant by taxi, I found that everyone was rushing to the third floor.
I overheard someone nearby say, "The view upstairs is so beautiful! It looks like someone's proposing!"
So she followed the crowd up.
My thoughts returned to the present.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come, a commotion arose at the restaurant entrance.
Fu Beichen came out.
He was dressed in a well-tailored white suit, holding a large bouquet of white lilies symbolizing pure love, and looked as handsome as a god descending to earth.
His gaze landed precisely on the figure in the pinkish-purple dress in the center of the stage.
He was very familiar with that dress; he had seen it in a group chat before, and she looked breathtakingly beautiful in it.
His heart began to pound uncontrollably, and a confident smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
A huge gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd!
"My God! It's Fu Beichen! The richest man in the world, Fu!"
"So, it's President Fu who's planning the proposal?!"
"Who's the female lead? Could it be actress Jiang Ying?!"
"This is so romantic! It's like a real-life version of a prince and princess!"
"I've heard that this Starry Night Restaurant was specially made by the richest man, Fu, as a token of love for actress Jiang, which is why it's called 'Starry Night'!"
The media reporters who were already in place immediately became excited, and all kinds of cameras and microphones were pointed at Fu Beichen. The live broadcast rooms of various platforms were also flooded with a large number of viewers in an instant.
Gu Xingnian stood in the crowd, watching this scene, completely stunned.
Fu Beichen... he's going to... propose?
Her mind went blank for a moment!
